oldmandev.txt
When I was your age, I coded with peeks and pokes.
I used to code with a chisel and a stone tablet
Back in my day, a fork lift was required for hardware upgrades, we didn't have fancy cloud services with sliders to add more memory and disk space
We didn't have network attached source control... instead I called the intern working as a data entry clerk and dictated my code to them for transcription and storage
I was coding before MCSE meant must consult someone else
